The Jerry D Tate Foundation for the Environment gives a small number of relatively large, targeted grants with a strong emphasis on international community/environmental work in Bolivia and occasional local education support. The vast majority of funding (90%) flows to a single Bolivian NGO for community support activities, while a smaller, one-time grant supported a Florida high school — suggesting a mix of focused overseas environmental/community development and local educational engagement.
A single Bolivian community-development grantee anchors the Jerry D Tate Foundation for the Environment’s recent giving: Bolivian Foundation for Social Development Inc received $45,600 in 2024, $44,000 in 2025, and $28,635 in 2023 for community support. That pattern makes the foundation’s priorities unusually clear. Alongside that overseas commitment, the foundation also supports environmental and civic work in the United States, with grants to groups such as Earth Justice, the Sierra Club Foundation, and Nature Conservancy. The giving profile combines environmental protection, community-based social development, and a smaller set of local education and youth-oriented awards. A Pensacola high school received two education grants, while other Florida recipients include Escambia County Public Schools Foundation, Keep Pensacola Beautiful, and Panhandle Equine Rescue Inc. The foundation’s recent awards also reach animal welfare and public-interest causes, including wildlife conservation, animal cruelty awareness, and food assistance. Across the recent grant list, the portfolio shows focused project support rather than broad, diffuse philanthropy, with one recurring international grantee and multiple U.S.-based organizations serving specific environmental, educational, and community needs.
In environmental advocacy, the Jerry D Tate Foundation for the Environment gave $9,000 in 2024 and $3,000 in 2025 to Earth Justice for environmental advocacy. It also supported land and water conservation through a $5,150 grant in 2025 to Nature Conservancy and gave $5,250 in 2023 to Natural Resource Defense Council for natural resource issues. Wildlife and animal-related grants also appear in the record. The foundation awarded $3,015 in 2023 to Wildlife Conservation Society for wildlife conservation, $3,090 in 2025 to Animal Defenders International (adi - US) for education and awareness on animal cruelty, and $3,000 in 2025 to Panhandle Equine Rescue Inc for rescue and rehabilitate horses. Education is another recurring area, with $12,579 in 2023 to Pine Forest High School, $7,500 in 2024 to the same school, and $5,150 in 2023 to Escambia County Public Schools Foundation for education.

Highly concentrated giving: most funds directed to one repeat foreign grantee (Bolivian Foundation for Social Development) with a few smaller, local grants; grants are large relative to total giving and show repeat funding to a single organization rather than many small awards.
Notable grantees: Bolivian Foundation for Social Development, Inc., Pine Forest High School
The foundation’s typical grants are small: the 25th percentile is $600, median grant size is $1,100, and the 75th percentile is $3,000.
